Only difference is, well, you know...

I could see this being a huge fight, Mikey would be doing the heavy lifting on the promotional side of course.

FYI... Mikey will also go on to fight the "Independent" (Malaysia/Uber) Manny Pacquiao on "Cinco De Mayo" weekend in 2019. (No VADA). Mark it.

Well if Mikey wins this fight then he is a candidate for fighter of the decade. The problem as others have pointed out is that Spence is probably too good, and too big for him to win.

Around that range seems like a fair bet. Possibly a bit more. GGG vs Lemieux did about 150k and Ward vs Kovalev I did 160k. Second one did less than that.

So actually highly unlikely it does more than 200k. Even 200k at $70 dollars gets you to $7 million after cable distributors get their share. Then with the live gate and international rights probably gets both over the $4 million mark. Not bad at all.

Those fights didn't have a Latino featured. This card will beat 200k buys guaranteed. Could get close to 400k. Y'all really underestimate the power of Latino fans. They are the life blood of US boxing.

If it happens, people will be shocked by the PPV buys.

His fight should be in Texas. Spence is from there and there is a large Mexican American population. It'll fill up a stadium.

Because Spence and his trainer aren’t saying they’ll take on ANYONE between 140-154 and then settling on a lightweight.

Spence hasn’t turned down any offers or demanded any catch weights to my knowledge.

Golovkin wanted ward at 164

Fair point, but it also helps putting a Latino on one of the Mexican holiday dates. Hey if it does 300-400k, that would be GREAT and make everyone involved very happy. We just have yet to see superstar or high level star ratings from either on SHO. I'll be buying that's for sure.

I'd rather see Spence fight Ugas to be honest

Ugly fight. Spence is bigger and better. Garcia will get destroyed by the middle rounds.
